I'm REALLY upset right now
i went to futureshop like 3 weeks ago and asked if i could buy the galaxy nexus outright, they said yeah.
So i go today to buy it and they said they can't give it without me signing a contract.
i argue with them for a while saying i was told a few weeks ago i could, they said yeah it changed now.
so they're like you have to prepay 1 month, i'm like okay **** it ill just do it because i really need the phone.
After a while he says i still can't buy it!
WTF, im paying outright for it, PLUS paying the first month, he says sorry you still can't buy it because you have no credit history.
i just walked out, what else could i do.
i really wanted this phone and they wouldnt sell it to me
Like I mentioned yesterday,
Negri Electronics: https://negrielectronics.com/samsung-i9250-google-galaxy-nexus-black-unlocked.html
Expansys
Newegg
Best bet would be Negri as its the cheapest (find a coupon online if they're valid still). From what I'm told on forums, Negri will handle warranties (look it up on XDA as multiple users have mentioned this).
https://negrielectronics.com/policies
DEFECTIVE ITEMS: A defective item may be returned for repair within 25 days of date of purchase. If an repair is not possible we will offer a refurbished replacement. If this is not available you will be offered a store credit toward a future purchase. If you would prefer a refund (instead of a store credit), you may request a full refund, minus shipping charges. The exchange process typically takes 8-10 days to complete. Every (Non Carrier Branded) device comes with a 1 year warranty from the manufacturer. After 25 days our exchange/return policy has expired, you should contact the manufacturer for repair or for warranty replacement or exchange, if your device qualifies for this. Please contact the manufacturer to determine if the device you hold is covered under their warranty. If you would like to send your device to us to send to the manufacturer you are free to do so. Please request an RMA. This will delay the warranty process by 1-2 weeks and you will be charged shipping to and from the manufacturer. You will need the original invoice from us in order to have your item repaired or exchanged by the manufacturer. Warranty varies by manufacturer, but typically warranties are valid for 1 year from purchase. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST request an RMA in order to return any device.
(NEW) REPAIRS: If after 25 days your device is in need of repair you can fill out the RMA Form and request a "repair". Negri Electronics will send your device off to our 5 star repair center and have it assessed for charges prior to the repair. We will contact you with the charges and if agreed upon charge you and complete the repair. Normally there is no fee for the assessment. You only are requiredto pay our actual cost for the repair, plus shipping. Once the phone is repaired we will have this shipped back to you.

I just walked into a Bell store the day it came out and bought it outright, my understanding Bell will do this for people who have an account with them and is in good standing, do you have a Bell account ? maybe this is their policy and that's why Futureshop would not sell it to you because your not a Bell customer already, you can always try fleabay

awh man, i don't wanna wait for shipping
if ur willing to pay for the phone outright u can get it from futureshop from virgin mobile though you gotta get a 1 month plan
this is what i did:
1) just say u wanna get the phone from virgin on SuperTab
2) after u get ur phone, cancel ur plan IMMEDIATELY by calling virgin (u need to give them 30day heads up), theres no fees or anything + u get a 5$ discount by paying ur months bill
ah and u pay the remainder of your tab at the end of the month*

this is what the guy was doing for me first
after a while entering stuff in the system he said he can't sell it to me because i have no credit history
he knew this because he asked for my drivers license, should i just say i don't have one?
cuz im still young its believable that i don't have a driving license

Most Verizon independent retailer do not sell phones out right. Mostly because it would be ripping the customer off.
Retailers buy their phones from Verizon at near retail value. So they buy a phone like the Nexus for $620 then sell the phone for $300 on the contract losing $320 on the phone. Verizon then pays a sizable commission on the line making your transaction profitable in the end for the retailer. Provided you pay your bill for the first 6 months.
Verizon has a limit on how many of each device the retailer can order within a time period. Because of this the retailer wants to make the most of the phones they get. In order to make the same profit selling a phone out right as they would if you signed a two year contract they would need to mark the phone up to nearly $1000. That is obviously ripping you off because you can get it cheaper somewhere else.
The sales person should have been clear up front and let you know they just don't sell phones out right.
Some of your big box stores that get a much higher allotment might not mind selling at near cost.
I am not sure if you are in the US or not but thought I would share that.

if 16gb is enough, it might, keyword might, be more economical to wait and let the 32 gb one come out. expansys told me the 32gb is probably going to be over $800 to ship to the usa. but then again, it might come out here in the usa at that time so it might be a little cheaper. but if you have the cash dude, and can't wait, get it imported. it's a damn good phone.

I'm not a "negri shrill" in any form or way. Just helping the OP get the Galaxy Nexus at the cheapest price available. It's simply a customer experience.
Why would I tell the OP to get it from Expansys or any other website if this one particular website offers it at a cheaper price? If you can find a price that is cheaper than what that store has to offer, then go ahead.

lol yeah, i really appreciate you helping me out man
thing is, i don't have a credit card either which is another reason im buying it locally
i could ask my parents but they'll freak out seeing how much i pay for a phone LMAO
but dude, it's like you keep mentioning negri, negri and more negri everywhere. cheaper is not always better. and i had a great experience with expansys. maybe he lives in nevada and doesn't want to pay sales tax. or illinois. all i'm saying is i see somebody mention another vendor and you're right there with negri.

OP lives in Canada, it says it on his profile. I don't understand why you have to start drama over the internet. Do you have something against their company? Both companies offer the same product, so why not grab the one that's going to save you a couple of dollars if both companies offer fast shipping?
I've had friends bought from Expansys as well, and I know they have great customer support as well. Both companies are great, but the $10-25 price difference can put a difference if a person wishes to make the purchase or not.
not starting drama. it just seems like you're there to promote negri every chance you get. seems weird ya know? both are fine. and if he's in canada illinois is closer.

The standard motorola support line: 1-800-734-5870. Spoke with sales. I received my promo code for buying the Verizon moto X on day 1 of the motomaker availability. I received my code in my email. Later that day, I saw that they were offering either the promo code or a Visa card, so I called back, explained that I would rather have the Visa card, and they politely said they would send me a card, and please not to use the code as they were going to deactivate it.
Your situation may be different, but I know they CAN swap the code for a card, but it may be a matter of finding a rep that is willing or able to. Try a Sales extension, they seem to have more power to "please the customer."

Technically, it was reimbursement. I would much rather have had $50 in cash, but oh well. I essentially would like to give this to someone who wants to buy from Motorola's site. If you're going to buy from that site, might as well use this. It's a win-win.

Not possible. Out of stock forever, and they have NO clue when they will be available again. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here with $100 worth of store credit, and everything I want is "Coming Soon" or "Out of Stock". And they were supposed to send me the Visa gift cards FWIW.

Yeah, I wonder as well. I think that it's probably an AT&T question though.
Its not actually $200 off, its a guaranteed $200 trade-in for any working phone. Sure, it mathematically comes out the same in the end, but without a phone to trade, you don't get the $200.
It says in there "come back on 10/10 for the trade in", it still works until then.

Where exactly can we trade in our old smartphones?
does it include blackberry curve as a smartphone? thats my question.

Something new on the promotion site from the last time I saw it; Best Buy customers go in-store to redeem instantly. Also in the fine print it states Best Buy customers do not need to submit the form, so it looks like we can get it from Best Buy without the inconvenience of waiting 6-8 weeks for the rebate check.
Can you apply the BB gift card to the note 4 purchase if you are buying it outright?

Best Buy has their own trade in promotion that gives you an instant $200 gift card when buying a Note 4.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-galaxy-note-4-128435
So I went to Best Buy and asked one of their phone guys, about this. He said that basically you pre-order the phone (if you do it online it has to be for in store pick up, which is not available yet on their website). Then when you come into the store to pick up the phone, you can bring in any other working smart phone. Cannot have damage to it. And they need the battery and charger with it too. They will give you a 200$ credit/gift card. That can be used towards the purchase price of the phone. They will apparently let you buy the phone outright too, which I have had issues, doing with them in the past. But now with the mobile share value plans and Next and all it looks like they may have changed their tune about that finaly.
Interesting thing is that it looks like their price is 25$ cheaper than AT&T.

Wait. Any working phone? Could I get 200 for my old captivate?
Edit: aww... I just saw the details. Kinda a pain.
Thank god I decided to look on XDA before pre ordering!
FYI giftcardgranny.com (or similar site) will give you approximately 90% value of the gift card in cash.
I'm trading in an old 3gs
I have hear 2 different answers from Bestbuy on if the promo can be for off contract purchase or not.

yeah I just saw that but oh well if it works cool and if not then it's okay. my order is pending now and as we learned with the 10 launch that means it should ship soon. probably looking for Monday or Tuesday arrival since I paid for next business day.
Just to update. I just got my FedEx shipping notification just now. they are coming Monday. hopefully they start selling them everywhere soon.
Hope it comes soon!Anyone else importing this to the USA? Hope it works out okay!
You could have saved some money, it's $650 on geekbuying.com. If you pay with paypal, it's $600. I will probably get it too but I'm not paying these early prices, waiting till drops below $600.
Hoping to get mine sooner than geekbuying but who knows. Thanks for the post! Hope lots of people get this so we have some good development!

Where do you see it being 600 with PayPal? It's 652 for me with or without PayPal
If you select PayPal and type " PAYPAL50OFF" you get a $50 discount

You can't use that code no more, it has been used too often
Sorry, most of the stores have terminated all but the smallest discounts to protect their profit margins. I snagged up a
pretty big 15% discount, less than 5 minutes later, friend reported it failed when he tried it. I'll post where I got mine after I actually get it, if I'm scammed I'd rather be the only one, it does seem a little too good to be true.
Do note that some resellers are flexible so if they have a live chat option, you can ask for discounts, tell them you barely missed a coupon and politely ask, they should drop the price a little.
I've invested quite a bit of time hunting for a deal. For every site I found, there were mixed reports, some had a smooth ride, others had bad experiences.
Mine just shipped with a DHL tracking number from AliExpress. Can't wait!
Sweet, yours came from the 1st batch that sold out in 58 seconds. I don't have a tracking number yet. You'll be the first owner on xda that I know of
I hope case makers start selling cases now. The one in the package doesn't seem like it it can prevent fall damage.
I accidentally drop my phone with enough force to break the ceramic at least once a year.
Anybody have to upload there proof of payment and identification to be verified on Aliexpress?
Sent from my PH-1 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
My credit card company originally rejected the purchase. I had to call them to tell them this purchase was legit. After that it all went through fine

I had to in the past when I bought some stuff off AliExpress.
Saw the price dropped $100 to $599.99!
I wrote the a message asking to credit my card the difference. Hope they will and not make things too difficult
And the 128GB variant is at 605.99$ now
That's just the way it is with early adoption and preorders. Consider yourselves lucky, you should have seen the prices some units have sold for on ebay. Or how bad the scalping will get with the iphone x...
Thank you Mr DHL person.
Wow! Did you have much tracking info from DHL or did it just show up? Where did you buy it from?

That's the strange part. I got a text message from DHL Express with tracking info and all. Followed it all the way to the door. Never knew they did that. I got it from eBay with a mountain of eBay bucks. Seller threw in a case and screen protector. I hope the OEM case is in there. My Mix shattered when we preparing for hurricane Irma and I needed a phone. Was waiting to see the pixel 2 XL but that price point scared me off from the leak.
